MOBILE TAKES A FRESH START
ON THE DOWN GRADE,

The Memphis Browns arrived home
yesterday morning. from Nashville
and, Notwithstanding they lost three
consecutive games to Nashville, every
man on the team from Sneed down
we're in good spirits, and were unani-
nous in the opinion that they would
get even with the Nashvilles in the
games to be played here this week.
Manager Sneed was seen by an APPEAL
reporter last night, and among other
things, said: eve won the frat game,
but labored under many difficulties.
In the first place we were short Ct
Force, and then the crowd guyed us
numerically. The audience on that
day Wednesday, was very quiet until
the eighth inning, when we had the
game well in hand, the score standing
IA to 4 in our favor. Then they
let loose and gave the Mem
phis players shameful deal.
They hooted and howled to
such an ex emit that my men were
ratified and it was only by streak of
good luck and batting in the last in
ming that we won the game. Thurs
days game should have been ours
Black pitched beautiful game and
split the plate" all during the game.
Deistel, recently released by Nashville,
umpired, and his decisions, to cay the
least, were rotten. II he had given
us any show at all we would have
won the game. The other two games
rightly belonged to the Nashviles.
They outplsyed US at every point and
the two victories were well de: erved."
That Manager Sneed's review OF
Wednesdays game at Nashville as to
the treatment received at the hands OF
the spectators is correct, is proven by
the following letter written by one Of
the most respected and prominent
business men of this city. He says:
while in Nashville on last W ednesday
/ witnessed the first game OF baseball
played between Memphis and Nash.
vile, and l never in my life witnessed
such disgracsfM proceedings on any
ball field. They "guyed" the Me hphis
team and kept up their scat calls" to
such an extent as to shock the sensi-
bilities of the gentlemen present, to
say nothing OF the ladies' who were
there. In fact, they were so bolster
GUS and insulting that the umpire was
compelled to call time several times in
order that the players might hesr min.
They seemed to be set of hoodlums,
who had come there for the purpose
of insulting our team and their |
friends. 1t is TO be hoped that Mem.
phis will not indulge in such ruffianly |
conduct in their games while here.
From the above they will under
stand that our citizsns are ON TO their
behavior, and, as a class, are too well |
bred to behave in such a manner. | |

parks seating capacity was fully tested |
today, 1000 people seeing New Orleans
knock out Savannah. Jack Pel'z in |
center and Brewer on first did about
all the playing for the visitors, while
every man on the home nine played
for all be was worth Peltz caught
eight flies in center and made home
run of the second ball pitched, putting
it clear over the right field fence,
about 300 feet. After that Powell was
on his mettle and held the Savannahs
down TO six scattering hits. The base
running of the locals was wonderful,
although some of the twenty steals
were on bad throws by Dallas. New
Orleans had no trouble in hitting
Emslie and bunche seven hits in one
inning, getting as many runs. PeltE's
home run was the only chance Savan-
nah had to get home. New O,leaus
signed Thorn pson, a left-handed batter
and fielder of lest years Torontos, and
Billy Forrest, an out fielder of Eau
Claire, Wis. Both are heavy men and
highly recommended.
